I cried, but not nearly as much as I thought I might, considering I cry at Kodak commercials It's not very sentimental, but definitely intense.

Mo'Nique definitely deserved her jury award, and when I heard Gaby interviewed, I was even more impressed with her (first-time) acting. Lenny Kravitz also completely disappeared into his character (as did Mariah Carey). Pretty impressive ...

I read the book last weekend and it was so moving. I recommend it to anyone. And I saw the movie and I think I may have been expecting too much or the book took away from it but it wasn't what I expected.
It was good and Monique was amazing...but IDK it lacked the grit of the book. I hope Monique gets her Oscar tho! She scared me!

^ I haven't read the book, but of all the book/TV series/movies I've ever seen, only three have been as good as or surpassed the book. And only one of those was a movie. Sooooo ...

I think Precious also did a great job ... it would be great to see two nominations from this movie! I heard Gaby interviewed, and she was saying that Mo'Nique would hug her & they would dance between takes when they were filming any of the intense scenes (OK, maybe all their scenes together were intense ). I thought that was so sweet ... I suspect a lot of actors would be staying in character, but she was thinking primarily of the other human being, and still she hit it out of the park

The book was difficult for me to read because I wasn't used to it but it's such a powerful story. I read it after seeing the movie trailer. The movie itself looks amazing. I'll probably bawl my eyes out or something

I saw it
Everyone should go see it
its an excellent movie...i didnt cry but
i only cry in movies when I connect myslf with a character too much
as if i know them but thats another story lol..im going to go buy the book now and
compare it to the movie
